The "hilariously" titled 'Houston: We Have a Drinking Problem' (how do they come up with this stuff?) is the first full-length release from Bad Astronaut, side project of Lagwagon's Joey Cape and former members of the Ataris, and it's unfortunately a slight step down in quality from their debut E.P., which had the advantage of being a lot cheaper despite nearly being as long.

Intelligent lyrics full of passion over excellent production sound like PARROWDICE to my eardrums! 
Some lame skits. The beats provided for SON OF NIAH are kind of a hit and miss. Classy pop tunes. Nice, fresh, talented British band. Only 50 minutes worth of music. A few weak links. Catchy pop music with an edge Bad singing, crazy woman Mostly successful mix of pop, rock and light punk without any of the bad bits. When it slides into pop punk territory, sick bags may be required.Welcome To The Cheap Seats - The Greatest Hits Live - Wonder Stuff
Pop Rock - 2004
The Essential Collection - Magnum
Progressive Rock - 2007
Stigmata - Arch Enemy
Arch Enemy ditches the pretence that they were ever really a death metal band. Overlong and often tedious songs.
Stockholm Knockout Live - Children of Bodom
Roughly even coverage of studio material. Lacklustre performance, and past the band's prime.
Solo Acoustic Vol 1 - Jackson Browne
Hearing the songs sung and played by one man Only having twelve songs
Reflections - A Retrospective - Mary J Blige - The Greatest Hits
R&B & Soul - Soul - 2006
New Age Of Earth - Ashra
Retro ambience for Tangerine Dream fans. Not up to the standards of its competitors, a disappointing change of direction.
Great Burrito Extortion Case - Bowling for Soup
Fun, energetic, and exciting Pop Punk. The band never take themselves too seriously. The humour displayed on this album may not be to everyone's taste.
